Abstract
Background
Wearable devices hold great promise, particularly for data generation for cutting-edge health research, and their demand has risen substantially in recent years. However, there is a shortage of aggregated insights into how wearables have been used in health research.
Objective
In this review, we aim to broadly overview and categorize the current research conducted with affordable wearable devices for health research.
